Raw Summer Gazpacho

Call it gazpacho, a Spanish summer cold vegetable soup, call it smoothie, call it raw soup… This is my favorite summer appetizer or drink. Full of colors, packed with vitamins and fibers, intense in taste. I make it with raw ingredients exclusively. I love it, my kids love it, especially sprinkled with fresh cut basil from my yard. That’s one of the ways I’ve been successfully using to get my kids to love vegetables almost as much as I do!

Greek Quinoa Entree Salad – A classic with a twist !

This salad ticks all boxes: fresh, filling, flair, and has interesting ingredients on top. It is a family favorite, and an easy to-go item. If it contains sheep dairy, it has no gluten, nor corn, soy, or seed oils ! Quinoa wonderfully absorbs the tomato juices, and the vegetables give it many colors, which kids always love. A real family friendly dish!

Winter Vegetables Shepherd Pie

Doctors these days insist that we eat the rainbow. Great news, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you!

This is a different take on shepherd pie. Not quite the rainbow, but close! You will love the purple, orange green and white colors, dark and light green. You will marvel at the crunchiness of the vegetables, and at the delectable layer of mashed cauliflower and potatoes. I made this dish dairy free by replacing butter with extra virgin olive oil, and make the grated cheese only optional. Make it with ground beef or a 50 /50 mix of beef and venison, add plenty of pepper, you will enjoy it, guaranteed. Make it with the Vitaliseur steam cooker and you will speed the process, boost taste intensity and nutrient density of your meal considerably.
